Rain
was in the forecast, and it was already spitting when I got off the bus. Since I
had arrived a little early, I ducked under an overhang across the street from
the church and grabbed a quick sketch of that beautiful golden cupola before the
rain got worse. And worsen it did, so I gave up my plan of grabbing the
pillars, too.

I
spent the rest of the morning inside the Roastery enjoying my Costa Rican pour-over
and marveling as I always do at all there is to see there. As many times as USk Seattle has visited the Roastery
(most recently just about a year ago),
I haven’t yet tired of the complex, overwhelming interior of warm copper colors,
snaking pipes and tubes and people everywhere.

Our turnout today was triple what it was a year ago at the same location!
